Today we’ll be answering the questions “What is a Mandalorian? Who are they? What are their history?”

It all starts with Boba Fett, if you’re familiar with Star Wars you know he’s the bad ass looking bounty hunter who escorts Han Solo encased in carbonite to Jabba The Hutt’s Palace in Return of the Jedi...

If you’re not familiar with him just know that he somehow is a fan favourite despite having only four lines in the original series. It really is wild that a character so trivial, developed such a massive cult following. A HUGE backstory was eventually developed. Books. Comics. Boba Fett even became the catalyst for the first ever live action Star Wars series…The Mandalorian, which you can watch on Disney Plus and the reason we’re talking about him today with the help of Heather Antos a former editor for Marvel Comics. She worked on the company's line of Star Wars comics.
